A closer analysis of this data reveals several key points. First, the reduction of 11 Classroom Teachers and 7 General Education Assistants is identical across all four options. This consistency is a direct result of basing all scenarios on the Model C staffing plan. Second, the administrative staffing changes highlight a key difference between the proposals. Options 3v2, 4, and 5v2 propose identical administrative reductions. In contrast, Option 6 involves a more significant administrative restructuring, reducing three principal positions while necessitating the addition of one assistant principal to support the larger school populations.
